How to automatically send an email when a lead subscribes
In this article, you will learn how to automatically send an email when a lead subscribes.
What you'll need:
- a systeme.io account
- a sales funnel
- a squeeze page
Create an automation rule
Navigate to your squeeze page in the funnel editor, click on the "Automation Rules" tab (number 1 in the image), and then on "Add Rule". (number 2 in the image)
On the "Add trigger" popup that appears, choose "Funnel step form subscribed". (number 3 in the image)
fter selecting the trigger, you need to add an action by clicking the "Add action" button. (number 4 in the image)
On the "Add action" popup that appears, choose the "Send email" action. (number 5 in the image)
Note: Optionally, add the action "Add a tag" to categorize your contacts. Click here to see how to create a tag.
2. Create an email:
After adding the actions, click on the "+" icon to create the email, then on the pencil icon to modify it. (number 6 in the image)
After confirming, the new rule will be created, and you will receive a notification confirming it on your dashboard. You will then only need to access the automation by clicking on the selected trigger.
Note 2: Optionally, you can also include a file attachment (e.g., a PDF) when sending emails to your prospects. Additionally, you have the option to insert substitution variables into the email body as necessary. After completing the email, remember to save it by clicking on "Save". (number 7 in the image)
Note 3: To modify your email, click on the pencil icon. (number 8 in the image)
When you're done, click on "Save rule" (number 9 in the image). To return to the main automation rules tab where the entire rule is displayed, click on "Back".
Additionally, when you click on the 3 dots for a given rule, you will have the option to:
- Edit automation rule
- Disable rule
- Delete rule
3. Testing the email automation
We advise you to do a test registration on your squeeze page to confirm that everything is working properly. If you encounter any problem with your email not being sent, contacts not being registered, etc., you can contact systeme.io support by clicking here.
Notes:
- The form button's action must be set to "send form" for the rule for sending the email to be triggered automatically after submission (How to set up a button)
- To improve email deliverability, we restrict the size of file attachments to 5 MB. If your file is larger than 5 MB, you will need to compress it before adding it.
